Quarantine doesn’t give your hands any rest: 3 handicraft trends for summer 2020

Quarantine revives old trends again! Almost forgotten handicrafts are making themselves felt again. Beautiful handmade things quickly became fashionable, which is not surprising - many people took up creativity so as not to sit at home in vain. Today I will talk about the three main handicraft trends of quarantine 2020.

Wicker bags

Macrame is a fairly old technique, known to our grandparents. In those days, women could perform miracles from a piece of napkin or rag. The fabric was turned into a cape, cover or fashionable cap. It's time to dust off the Soviet manuals, because weaving is back in trend!

Stylish handbags first appeared on the catwalk back in the summer of 2019, when string bags suddenly came into fashion. Back then, most accessories were made from ropes and fabric. But during quarantine, the summer bag has evolved. Today, the trend is genuine leather, silk threads and raffia.

This accessory looks very unusual.It stands out among a dozen identical leather bags, cut according to the same pattern. At the same time, such models look very light and relaxed, which complements the summer look.

But you still shouldn’t wear it with absolutely any outfit. It is important to remember the right combination of styles. This accessory looks ridiculous with a business look or an elegant dress. Summer denim shorts with sandals or a light sports dress with sneakers will go well with a wicker string bag.

Beaded jewelry

They came into fashion right out of the nineties. True, in those days, girls were forced to weave jewelry from beads, since there was simply not enough money for ordinary ones. Nowadays, bracelets, necklaces and even full-fledged handbags with a simple pattern are a real handicraft trend that regularly appears on the forum.

Beads are a very versatile material. It can be used to weave both a delicate mother-of-pearl bracelet and a massive necklace. There are thousands of variations of beads. Jewelry can be complemented with rhinestones.

Beaded accessories replaced the trendy gold chains that were popular among street style lovers. Which is not surprising - such jewelry is several times cheaper. You can make a beautiful necklace yourself by shopping at your local craft store and looking at a few guides online.

At the same time, you can wear beads with anything. A necklace made of this material will add variety to a plain sheath dress or turtleneck. The brooch will help to dilute the strict office style. It is appropriate even with a strict dress code - beaded jewelry can look neutral.

But beaded bracelets look best with summer sundresses.This image turns out airy and truly light. Moreover, in the heat you don’t want to hang yourself with massive jewelry.

Embroidery on clothes

Embroidered dresses are a constant trend of any season. They are relevant in the 21st century, just as before, when every girl had a personally embroidered sundress in her wardrobe. This summer embroidery is back in fashion.

This is another universal technique. With its help you can create anything you want. A light sundress looks stylish, the hem of which is decorated with bright flowers embroidered using the satin stitch technique. A plain T-shirt with a cat embroidered with a cross is no less beautiful.

Embroidery is appropriate in many styles. Such outfits are suitable for both everyday wear and going out. In addition, you can make an exclusive dress by embroidering a design on it yourself.
